EINSTEIN CHARTER SCHOOLS OF NEW ORLEANS BECOME FIRST TO REPLICATE ITS ACADEMIC AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IN ANOTHER STATEAgreement with Arkansas Charter Authorizing Panel moves to State Board of Education

Einstein Charter Schools, which currently operates four schools in eastern New Orleans for grades K-10, has become the first New Orleans-grown charter operator to replicate its program in another state, announced Chief Executive Officer Shawn Toranto.

Yesterday, the Arkansas State Board of Education authorized Einstein to open a new charter school in the Little Rock School District.

Einstein Charter Middle’s 120 seventh graders are fully immersed in the digital age as they start the 2017-2018 school year at Sarah Towles Reed in the Michoud area of eastern New Orleans.

Each student, equipped with their school-provided computer, will complete their assignments in English, math, science, Spanish and social studies without using one piece of paper. Instead, their textbooks, assignments, and tests are all online. As they interact with their classmates and teacher, they are able to apply their skills and pace of learning to an individualized program monitored by their classroom instructor.

On July 4, 2017 Einstein Charter Schools teacher Alondria Bowie arrived in India, along with a cohort of teachers as part of the Teachers for Global Classrooms Program (TGC). The international trip was the culmination of the TGC program that also included a ten-week online professional development course and participation in the Global Education Symposium in Washington, D.C. in February 2017.

Over the course of 21 days Bowie visited four countries in India – Bangalore, Maharashtra, Agra and New Delhi. Arriving in India, Bowie expected the experience to show her statistical data on how children living in an impoverished country produced students who can achieve anywhere. She planned on taking the data, from a country whose population is the same as the entire U.S. population, and using it in to implement new teaching methods in her Social Studies classroom at Einstein Charter Middle. What she learned was so much more.
